[Supplementary Explanation]
• Specify [START CODE] at the head of print data.
◦ START CODE A = [>G]
◦ START CODE B = [>H]
◦ START CODE C = [>I]
• C/D is an auto-generation.
• About "START CODE";
◦ When using "START CODE C", specify print data in even-numbered digit.
◦ When "START CODE C" is set to print data in odd-number digit, specify "START CODE A"
or "B" to change the first one character of print data. And then specify the rest of data with
"Code Set Character C" to change it to even-numbered digit.
e.g.1) 15 digits [123456789012345] : <B>1<C>23456789012345
e.g.2) 9 digits / Alphanumeric 6 digits [123456789ABC123] : <C>12345678<B>9ABC123
◦ When odd digits are specified with START CODE C, the behavior changes depending on
printer settings.
